Obama's War Against People of Faith

Tens of Thousands Turn Out to Protest HHS Mandate

On Friday at noon tens of thousands of Americans rallied in over 150 cities to protest Obama's HHS mandate including many young women opposing Obama's war on people of faith. This "occupy" movement had no hazy message, but a very specific demand that the government stop trampling on our religious freedom. This fight isn't over by a long shot.

And, while Obama tries to portray those who oppose his will as "warring against women," he's the one who champions turning women into recyclable sex objects who are always available as pleasure toys without the "complication" of pregnancy. Show me a male chauvinist pig and I'll show you a man who says, "She can always take the Pill and get an abortion if it fails." The war on women has taken a real toll on their health including the epidemic of breast cancer, often more aggressive than in the past. Why should women have to die or suffer serious illness so they can always be at-the-ready to satisfy predatory men? Wake up, women. The "sexual revolution" was no blessing for you!

More Bad News About Chemical Birth Control

From the Population Research Institute Blog:

According to the most recent report of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, published in 2009, close to 50% of all newly acquired Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 infections across the globe now occur in women of reproductive age. Only a decade before, in 1998, only roughly 36% of reported cases concerned women of all ages. Why this vast increase? Why, when treatment for HIV has become more accessible and the overall death toll has slowly been decreasing, are more and more women being infected? And why is the increase concentrated in women in their childbearing years?


Heterosexual intercourse is the point of transmission for the majority of these newly infected women. No surprise here. But sex is not just sex these days. Heavily funded population control programs have promoted, and even imposed, powerful, steroid-based contraceptive drugs on tens of millions of Third World women. What they trumpet as “greater global access to family planning methods” has in fact given the HIV virus greater access to women's bodies by altering women's local and systemic immunities, cervico-vaginal responses and protective vaginal flora—all in directions that make infection more likely.

Statistics gathered over the past 20 years reveal a parallel between an increase in contraceptive drug use and an increase in HIV-1 infections in women. Several epidemiological studies over the same period also seem to demonstrate a link. These studies were conducted with various cohorts of women from married mothers to single adolescents to “sex workers”, and were carried out, for the most part, among the populations of users of African family planning clinics. A link between the use of contraceptive drugs and HIV-1 disease acquisition and progression seemed evident, although most of the studies—for whatever reason—failed to draw any consistent or strong conclusions about this link. And none suggested that family planning programs ought to be modified or scaled back as a result. Read more here...

When will they stop lying to women about breast cancer?

Another study released NINE months ago shows the link between breast cancer, oral birth control, and abortion. Despite the data, which shows a significant link to triple negative breast cancer, the most agressive kind, the silence from breast cancer groups has been deafening.

One of the most significant things about the study is that one of the researchers was Louise Brinton of the National Cancer Institute. Brinton organized a workshop on breast cancer in 2003 promoting the position that there is NO LINK between abortion and breast cancer. In fact, however, the current study shows a 40% increase. So including her name in the study represents a shift in position for her.

The population studied was under 45 years of age. Many of the women who experienced the aggressive form of treatment-resistent breast cancer no doubt bought into the feminist bias toward contraception and abortion believeing it would "free" them from the "slavery" of mandatory motherhood.

As a breast cancer survivor, I am so grateful that I am a Catholic. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1986 at age 39 with no risk factors. I was a non-smoker, began my first pregnancy at age 22, breast fed, and never used the pill or had an abortion. I was fortunate though considering I married in the middle of the sexual revolution when, it seemed, the whole world embraced the pill.

Before our wedding, I went to a doctor for a gyn checkup and then spoke to him about NFP. I didn't know much about it at the time, but had been charting my temperature for several cycles. I showed them to the doctor who glanced at them with contempt, threw them at me across the desk, and said, "I'm a pill man. If you want me to prescribe the pill I will. And don't come back to me in two months pregnant."

Thank God I was enough of a Catholic not to follow his advice. I got pregnant on our honeymoon and didn't go back to him.

My current doctor says if I'd ever taken the pill, I probably would have had cancer at age 29 instead of 39. Chances are it would have been the more aggressive type and I might very well be one of the casualties of the feminist revolution. I know too many women who died in the prime of life from breast cancer. I always wondered if they took the pill and/or had an abortion.

As far as I'm concerned, the facts coming out about contraception, abortion, and breast cancer are more proof that the Catholic Church is the one true Church. When the Protestant denominations began to cave in to the prevailing secular culture following the 1930 Anglican Lambeth Conference, the Catholic Church held out. Even as the Catholic Birth Control Commission and dissenting priests lambasted Pope Paul VI over Humanae Vitae (most of them without reading it), he did not waver. The ONLY church to hold out against The Pill and other immoral birth control was and remains, the Catholic Church.

Consider the difference to Catholic women if, instead of counseling them in confession to follow their own consciences, priests had preached the truth. I remember raising the question in confession with a dear elderly monsignor who said, no, contraception could not be justified. I wasn't happy at the time, but that dear priest may have saved my life, allowing me to live long enough to play with my 18 grandchildren and getting ready to welcome another next summer.

What a blessing it is to be Catholic! No wonder we call her Holy Mother Church! May we all listen to and follow her teachings. They can save us from a lot of misery.
